7.1 General notes on laying cables
I
NOTE
• As far as possible, use existing through-holes to lay the connection cables, or other
suitable options such as bodywork edges, ventilation grilles or dummy panels. If no
openings are available, you must drill holes for the respective cables. Check before-
hand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to emerge.
• Cables and cable connections that are not properly installed will regularly cause
malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connec-
tions is the prerequisite for lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted com-
ponents.
Therefore, please observe the following instructions:
• Wherever possible, always lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected there than
outside.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well fastened (use additional
cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
• To prevent damage to the cables when laying them, ensure that they are always far enough
away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light systems, fans,
heaters, etc.).
• Screw on the plug connections for the connecting cables to protect them against water pene-
tration (fig. 8, page 6).
• When laying the cables, make sure that:
– they are not kinked or twisted,
– they do not rub on edges,
– they are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection (fig. 9, page 6).
• Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration by suitable meas-
ures, e.g. by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the cable sleeve with
sealant.

NOTE
Only start sealing through-holes when you have completed all installation work on the
camera and have determined the required connection cable lengths.
